NAME

ax25spyd-ax.25trafficanalyzer,dumperandspydaemon

SYNOPSIS

ax25spyd[-v{v}|--version][-d][-f]

DESCRIPTION

ax25spyd - A daemon, which analyses, formats and transmit the AX.25
traffic via sockets to other processes. Statistics of heard frames and
a simple DX-cluster-spy is included. An autospy and mailspy will be
provided in the future.
ax25spyd runs in the background. It should be started during boot up,
after ax.25 init is completed. To see the results, you need a client.
ax25spy(1) is provided as example, but you can use telnet too, or an
PR-Terminalprogram e.g. LinKT/MonKT
(someday it will be written) would first read it’s configuration file
/etc/ax25/ax25mond.conf. It will then wait for connects on the tcp-
ports specified in this file (no, it waits on 14090 and 14091). When
connected, it will transmit all data which it has received on the AX.25
monitor socket.
There is an listener port on 14091. It offers the monitor data in
readable format. You can telnet to it (telnet localhost 14091) and see
the monitordata.

OPTIONS

-a alien mode. shows every packet from any network-
interface (except loopback device lo) e.g. eth0. There
is a performance disadvantage. ATTENTION: There is a
security problem, because everyone can connect to
ax25spyd and see all data! You must know what you do,if
you enable this!
- You have be warned -
-d starts _not_ in Daemon-mode, but in the foreground. The
default is to put hemself in the background (Daemon-
Mode)
-e allow the SHOWALIEN command (see -a) to be issued by the
client. ATTENTION: This is a security problem!
-f (forcenokiss), for kax25 which ommit the transmitting of
the KISS-Byte on the monitorsocket (2.2-Kernel). Try
this, if autodetection does not work
-m mailspy: tries to detect bbs-mail in the spied data,
collects it and writes it to the local mailsystem via
smtp (not working yet)
-q be quiet. Usefull when starting in the boot-script
-s spy all: Write all heard data to
/var/lib/ax25/ax25spyd/call1->call
-v be verbose in the syslog
-vv be more verbose -
-V,--version displays the version number and some copyright
information.
